What OS are you on? I've noticed that Windows NT and 2000 do weird things
with foreColor and backColor, like switching them (back becomes fore and
vice versa). Could it be a problem like that?

Subject: Re: <lingo-l> foreColor property
Thanks for your answer
I am trying to change the forecolor of an area within a field member that is
pasted from another fieldmember.
The lingo I am using is
member("attention").text = "Sorry, you have the name" && member (1,
"pictures").name &&"attached instead of" && member("person1").text
on the screen I would then like it to say ( using my name) "Sorry, you have
the name David Pexton attached instead of John Doe.
I would like David Pexton to be in red.
I think I can leave everything in dot syntax except
member (1, "pictures").name
because that text I would like to change the color on.
I am having a very hard time getting this. If you have any suggestions I
would really appreciate it.
David
